Re: CLUSTER in 8.3.5 on GIST indexes loses all rows

FYI, this is not limited to PostGIS GIST, it appears to be all GIST
(gid is an integer column and I have loaded btree_gist):

pramsey=# create table ttt as select * from counties;
SELECT
pramsey=# create index gid_bix on ttt using gist (gid);
CREATE INDEX
pramsey=# select count(*) from ttt;
count
-------
3141
(1 row)

pramsey=# cluster ttt using gid_bix;
CLUSTER
pramsey=# select count(*) from ttt;
count
-------
0
(1 row)

pramsey=# select version();
version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.3.5 on i386-apple-darwin9.5.0, compiled by GCC
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)
(1 row)
